Southern National Archery Festival – The Shoot Off

On Sunday afternoon all the qualifying archers gathered for the big shoot off. Dennis Sissell spearheaded the proceedings. The competitors had been narrowed down to 64 shooters, including men and women and compound, recurve and longbow archers.

Festival organizer Dennis Sissell went over the details of the shoot off with the final contestants.

The first event was a flight round at target painted on the ground. I didn’t hear anyone say how far it was to the target but it looked at least 100 yards to me.

This is the blue and red target for the flight round.

Flu-flu arrows were passed out to all the shooters.

When an archers name was called they were issued numbered arrows. The numbers and who they belonged to were recorded.
The women shot first.

This event was going to take awhile so Frank and I slipped out to get something to eat at Papasitos. When we returned the shooters were moving into the large arena for the final Shoot-Off. Every shooter who made it this far was guaranteed at least $500.

The Shoot-Off consisted of a variety of targets. Here are the running deer.

The deer are on a track and they go across and return at two different distances.

There were several pairs of pop up deer.

There were both compound and traditional shooters in the final competition.

In the picture below you can see how the shoot off worked. In the far left and far right columns is the name of every shooter. After everyone shot the first round, every 8 shooters had 4 winners. These winners were listed in the second column. And so on until there were only two shooters left.

There was some serious shooting done here.

Eventually it boiled down to Sam Wolhuis and Tom Boatright standing on the firing line.

Tom Boatwright was the winner and received $32,000. Sam Wolthuis received $8,000. It was quite a weekend for these guys.

Here is Frank Addington Jr. congratualting Tom Boatwright.

And that was how things went at the Southern National Archery Festival for 2010.

During the Archery Festival I made a bunch of updates and put some videos on my Facebook page. When Boatwright and Wolthuis shot their last round I videoed it on my iPhone. Then I immediately uploaded it to Facebook. It was on 4 minutes after the last shot was made. To see the coverage on Facebook go to www.facebook.com/roberthoague

    The winner was Sam Wolthuis. The picture is correct, but the names are wrong.

    Not sure if you know this or not but the guaranteed money has not been received. This whole shoot may have been a total rip-off to those that shot it. They said checks would be sent out within two weeks of the shoot and nothing has been received. Right now, in my mind, they lied and stole my money. I know others that shot it as well and they have not received any money either. At this point in time Dennis S. returning calls and no one knows what is going on.
